Has Henry been coaching the Brazilian forwards in his spare time?

Re: World Cup
Anyone else have any comments or suggestions about this (I already put the functions into a spreadsheet when I was thinking about it the other night and it's easy enough to modify to whatever preference we pick)?
I've been thinking about the knockout stage (..and hopefully people will still want to play if England gets knocked out on Wednesday.)
The following is doable, if a little complicated at first glance:
So predictions would be entered in exactly the same form as before, however an optional "PENS" signifier can be tagged on the end of each prediction (to indicate the predicted score is the penalty score.)
How does that sound?
The following is doable, if a little complicated at first glance:
- Correct Winning Result (90 mins OR AET): 1 Point
- Correct Winning Score (90 mins OR AET): 3 Points
- Predict an AET draw: 1 Point for predicting AET draw or 3 Points for exact score
- Predict a penalty win: 2 points for correct result, 5 Points for correct Penalty score
So predictions would be entered in exactly the same form as before, however an optional "PENS" signifier can be tagged on the end of each prediction (to indicate the predicted score is the penalty score.)

Re: World Cup
This game has really brightened up my working day. People see me at my desk cursing when I know my predicted result is no longer possible.

Re: World Cup
I had the honour of winning that competition a few years ago, 2003 perhaps.

Re: World Cup
If you (or someone else) could post the overtime/extratime rules just to make sure everyone (me) understands how a winner is determined. To my knowledge the extratime is not sudden death but at the same time there are "golden goals" and I could look it up but the rules posted on the thread would be a nice touch.
If the match is a draw after normal time, the teams play 2 additional 15 minute halves. If there's still (or again) a draw, it goes to penalties.
5 players from each team take the spot-kicks (or if a winner is already established after fewer than 5, that's it). If it's still tied after 5 penalties each, additional players (not the same 5) take alternate pots until someone misses.

"Golden goals" are the same thing as sudden death and are not used at this WC (someone will correct me if I'm wrong).
